I don't know how I got out of the tunnel, maybe I was shocked, maybe I was stunned, maybe I was confused, but when the fire outside the tunnel lit up in front of my eyes, I thought I probably didn't feel anything.

There shouldn't be, and there is no reason to have.

"Where's the branch? We'll look for it now. ”

Gu Yuancheng looked at the scene in front of him, and his breathing slowed down a little, "He said that he was in the South Pavilion, but I guess he has taken him by now." ”

"Don't worry about this." I said confidently, "I have surrounded Du Rong with troops in the entire alley, and Du Rong is waiting there at the exit where he is most likely to escape." ”

Gu Yuancheng didn't seem to be worried about this matter, but he turned his head to look at me, but he didn't say anything.

"What's wrong? Could it be that I am missing something? I asked curiously.

Gu Yuancheng said lightly, "No, you did a perfect job, luring the snake out of the hole, sowing discord, catching turtles in the urn, waiting for the rabbit, interlocking, there is no place where you can't handle it well." ”

Squinting at his handsome side face in the firelight, my heart suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Okay, I didn't tell him all the plans, he wiped them all over again, if he came tonight with a 'praying mantis catching cicadas, and the yellow finch was behind', wouldn't I be in danger?

"Shen Qingzhi, the 'Yellow Sparrow' is not me, and the 'Praying Mantis', you know it's not you."

Gu Yuancheng's expression became a little distorted and broken in the fire, and I didn't dare to look at it.

"Let's go, Jia Chun's place should be over." After saying that, I walked forward quickly, for fear of seeing his expression again.

His eyes dimmed, and Gu Yuancheng still kept up with the people in front.

Gu Yuancheng and I quickly found Jingyang and Chen Yi hiding in the corner, Jingyang's situation was much better, and we immediately found a way out.

The fighting outside had indeed stopped, and by the time we reached the lobby, all the masked men were dead, except for Peony, who was tied to a pillar because of my orders.

"Why didn't you have a single living mouth?" I frowned and looked at the corpses all over the ground, feeling a little embarrassed.

When Jia Chun saw me coming, he immediately stepped forward and replied, "If you go back to your lordship, most of these killers committed suicide by taking poison, and the officers and soldiers did not know the situation here, so they did not have time to stop it. ”

Well, this reason is also valid, and I don't bother to pursue it.

"Let go of her, the original appearance wants to take her away, you come to clean up the aftermath." I lifted my hand and pointed to the tied peony.

Jia Chun didn't immediately look for what I said to do it, but hesitated, "Why did the adults take her away?" She is a prisoner of the imperial court. ”

I noticed something unusual, and said coldly, "You want to disobey the order of the original appearance?" ”

"The lower officials don't dare, it's just ......" Although Jia Chun said that he didn't dare, he obviously didn't want to release people.

I didn't have time to rub shoulders with him here, so I said directly to Jingyang, who had long been impatient behind me, "You go and bring Shaohong over", and I looked at Jia Chun with a sneer, "Lord Jia, I hope you understand, those who dare to provoke the appearance of the prime minister, the prime minister will not 'exchange courtesies', but will only 'double the return', Lord Jia can remember?" ”

Jia Chun suddenly didn't dare to say anything more and retreated.

Jingyang went to save Shaohong, and his movements were naturally very fast, and after a while, Shaohong was helped over by him. I saw that Shaohong only suffered a little skin injury, and I also knew that the sword had no eyes, so I didn't blame Jia Chun anymore.

When Gu Yuancheng and the others walked out of the alley first, I deliberately slowed down for half a beat, turned around and whispered to Jia Chun, "Don't worry, Lord Jia, although the prime minister does not allow others to be presumptuous in front of the prime minister, but the mind and strength are absolutely worthy of the position under the prime minister, and later, the prime minister will naturally send someone to send you something." ”

Jia Chun glanced up at me, as if he had something to say, but in the end he just gave up his hand and said, "Lord Xie Shenxiang." ”

Strange, why do I always feel that something is wrong?

I took the folding fan in my hand, tapped it, and walked out with a stomach full of doubts.

"Gu Yuancheng, why did when I 'lure the snake out of the hole', it wasn't the pavilion envoy who came out, but Shaohong?" I had a bad premonition, so I hurriedly caught up with Gu Yuancheng and asked what I thought was wrong.

"Is there a difference?" Gu Yuancheng didn't seem to talk much about it.

I couldn't help but feel anxious, and my tone couldn't help but get worse, "Of course there is a difference, if Peony is in you, how could what happened just now?" ”

Gu Yuancheng stopped and turned his head to look at me, "Because that person held me hostage, it was Shaohong who went out." Anything else to ask? Ask me all at once, or you won't have a chance to ask me again in a while. ”

Jingyang, Shaohong, and Chen Yi all stopped to look at us, and Chen Yi was the first to come forward and persuade me, "Lord Shen Xiang, the current situation cannot be delayed, let's go quickly, if there is anything you want to ask the young master, it will be the same if you ask it in the future." ”

It's different, it must be different, and today's events are weird.

"Why are you being held hostage by him?" I ignored Chen Yi and stared at Gu Yuancheng's eyes and asked.

"Skills are not as good as people." Gu Yuancheng replied to me lightly.

I shook my head.

No, no, how could Gu Yuancheng say that his skills are not as good as others.

"What the hell did you trade with that envoy? Why did you leave him alive? I stared at him. I love eBooks

Gu Yuancheng's expression remained unchanged, "I didn't trade with him, he held me hostage, so I naturally couldn't take his life." ”

Lie!

I turned around and approached Shaohong, and Jingyang saw my menacing appearance and immediately blocked in front of Shaohong.

"You get out of the way, I'll just ask her a few questions, and it won't hurt her." I took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to shoot Jingyang away.

Jingyang naturally didn't believe my nonsense and refused to get out of the way.

Shaohong pulled Jingyang's sleeve and walked out from behind Jingyang.

"What do you want to ask?" Peony didn't seem to sense my anger, and still looked at me with a smile.

I squinted and asked directly, "What deal did you make with him?" Say it now, or the consequences you know. ”

Shaohong covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed, "Lord Shen Xiang also has a day of threatening weak women?" After a pause, he said, "The slave family just begged Gu Xiang to take Xiaojing with him, and it can't be considered a deal." ”、

"What did you promise him?" I just felt like I was on fire in my heart, and I wanted to have a seizure at any moment.

Shaohong shook her handkerchief, and said helplessly, "The slave family has already told Gu Xiang to keep it secret, if Lord Shen Xiang wants to force it, the slave family is helpless." ”

I looked at her fixedly, and suddenly smiled, "Jingyang, you asked him to join us, right?" That's why he, an ordinary killer, knows so much about the inside story of the Blood Alliance. ”

Peony's movements stiffened, and she didn't speak.

"Why did you want him to come to me and Gu Yuancheng?" I said in a cold voice, "Because when Gu Yuancheng and I were investigating the pawnshop of life and death, you knew that the Jiangnan Branch Pavilion was going to be insecure, so you gave him those chips to prevent him from being affected." But what you didn't expect was that he used this to let us save you. ”

"But why do you still have to trade with Gu Yuancheng alone? I have promised you to leave him safely. ”

It's something I can't figure out, and it's the source of my bad premonitions. There must have been something I overlooked, or rather, something I didn't expect.

Peony tried to say something to me, but her eyes suddenly looked straight behind me.

The bad premonition in my heart finally reached its peak, and I didn't dare to look back, because I had been listening to this kind of slow footsteps for too many years.

So that's it, that's how it is.

It turned out that he was the 'yellow finch', and they were both dew-eating cicadas.

"Prince Qin." Gu Yuancheng on the side sneered.

Cen Xi didn't say anything, but I could feel his gaze fixed on me, not cold, but enough to make me tremble.

I knew he was waiting for me to come back.

Tightening my fists, I turned around and knelt directly on the ground, "Weichen greets His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Cen Xi looked at me kneeling on the ground coldly, and didn't call me to get up, opposing Gu Yuancheng and said, "Prime Minister Gu of Qi State? The main temple is nothing you have ever seen before. ”

"Prince Qin is the prince of Qinguo, and you have naturally never seen such a small person." Gu Yuancheng had a smile on the corner of his mouth, but there was a cold light in his eyes.

Cen Xi looked at Gu Yuancheng expressionlessly, as if he was looking at a dying man.

He didn't speak, Gu Yuancheng didn't speak, and the air froze as if it was frozen.

Although I knew that I couldn't, I still gritted my teeth and said, "Your Highness, you haven't let Weichen get up yet." ”

The tight strings suddenly loosened, and I could clearly feel that Shaohong and the others next to me breathed a sigh of relief, but they were relieved, but I couldn't get out of my breath.

Sure enough, Cen Xi's eyes fell on me again, and this time I easily felt his anger.

"Since Prime Minister Shen Cheng feels tired from kneeling, let's get up." Cen Xi threatened coldly, "I believe that with the extent that my father loves you, this crime of disrespect will not treat you like this." ”

In any case, I can't afford to offend Cen Xi, so I can only lower my head at the moment and say respectfully, "Weichen doesn't dare, Your Highness forgives me." ”

Gu Yuancheng didn't know why, he suddenly couldn't get used to seeing me like this and didn't dare to breathe, so he took two steps forward and directly pulled me up from the ground.

"Bastard, what are you doing?" I was so angry that I scolded his ancestors.

Originally, Cen Xi just wanted to make a show, how could he really let me kneel all the time, he was good, such a pull, didn't he obviously push me into the fire pit.

"It's not uncommon to see you kneeling in front of Ben Shao, it's really an eyesore, if you really want to kneel, kneel behind your own face."

"Kneel your dog's head!" I pulled out my fan and started to move with him, and the more I thought about it, the more angry I became.

This bastard, if he had told me that Cen Xi was here before, how could I be so embarrassed? If he had told me all his plans, how could I be like a fool today, smug and unaware? If......

If I hadn't deliberately avoided Cen Xi in my heart, how could I not have guessed the relationship between Jia Chun and Cen Xi? How can you not see the relationship between Du Rong and Cen Xi......
